A Stone's Throw

Set in the achingly beautiful world of rural Nova Scotia, A Stone's Throw, follows the journey of photojournalist Jack Walker (Kris Holden-Ried, Touch of Pink, K-19/ The Widow Maker), who arrives unannounced in the remote seaside town where his sister, Olivia (Kathryn MacLellan, Wilby Wonderful, Whole New Thing) lives a carefully constructed and insulated life with her two children. Jack, charming but guarded, is reticent about both the reason for his visit and the secrets of his recent past.

Jack's attraction to Olivia's best friend, Lia (Lisa Ray, Water, Bollywood/Hollywood), the local kindergarten teacher and a single mom, draws him further into the community perched on this pristine shore. As their romance grows, Jack's pessimism begins to soften, and he opens up to a new way of seeing and appreciating the world.

But even as Jack moves further away from his recent agendas, his sense of urgency captivates Olivia's rebellious teenaged son, Thomas (Aaron Webber, Whole New Thing), who begins his own determined investigation into the toxic effects of the nearby paint and resin factory. As Thomas' behaviour spins out of control, Jack's past catches up with him, forcing him to confront his own unresolved personal history and the powerful consequences of acting out of anger.
